Danny Almagor - A New Impact Investment Firm, Sentient; and the Evolution of Small Giants

Good Future

Danny Almagor has been a central pivot point of the Australian impact investment scene for more than a decade, and he’s someone I’ve wanted to sit down with for a chat, for a long time. He’s the founder of Small Giants, and Impact Investment Group. He’s the husband of Berry Lieberman and he’s just an all-round top bloke. Danny is an engineer by trade, but he’s a spiritual explorer in practice. He’s on a journey that I’m sure resonates with many of my listeners, and that’s a quest to make the world of business… be more human. To share a line from a previous guest, it’s about recognising we live in an ecology, rather than an economy. We covered a lot in this wide-ranging conversation, but most exciting was the news that Danny dropped on us, that he’s launching a new impact investment firm. It’s called Sentient. It will sit alongside IIG, but it will be a very different beast entirely. It’s an exciting new concept, and it follows on from the tough year that Danny had in 2020, bother personally and professionally.
